We are undertaking a comprehensive interior renovation of a residential home, focusing on several bedrooms, bathrooms, passageways, and related areas. The goal is to modernize the spaces, improve functionality, flow, and natural light while incorporating quality finishes such as wooden flooring and built-in cabinetry. Key objectives include: • Converting multi-door configurations into more private, single-entry rooms • Removing outdated cladding, carpets, and built-ins • Installing new wooden flooring (concert step finish) • Complete bathroom renovation(s) • Enhancing natural light and spatial openness • Adding built-in storage and adjusting door/window placements Please review the detailed room-by-room scope below. A floor plan is attached for reference (showing bedroom locations BR1, BR2, BR3, etc.). 1. Bedroom (BR3) • Redo wooden flooring throughout (light finish). • Close off the big existing door to create a single primary entrance. • Close the stoep (veranda) entrance. • Install a sliding door for direct access into the adjacent bathroom. • Build in new cupboards (or supply free-standing alternatives as discussed). • Remove existing cladding but retain it halfway up the walls, even with the newly built walls. 2. Bedroom 2 (BR1) • Close the existing door that connects directly to the bathroom from this room. • Investigate and quote on installing/repairing a fireplace (if feasible). • Remove all existing cladding except the strip for the headboard. • Remove existing built-in cupboards. • Remove all carpet. • Sand and treat the floors. 3. Bathroom 1 • Complete total renovation of the bathroom. • Create a new door from the bathroom into the passage for improved access. • Make the window higher. • Install a free-standing bath. • General layout adjustments as per the attached sketch (BR1/BR2 bathroom area). 4. Bedroom 3 (BR2) • Build the door closer / adjust door positioning. • Remove all carpets. • Remove existing cladding. • Remove or relocate cupboards. 5. Passage Outside Bathroom • Remove the door in the passage to open up the space. • Remove the wooden door to allow more natural light into the area. 6.

Project Notes • All work must comply with local building regulations and standards. • Contractors should provide a detailed quotation broken down by room/area, including materials, labour, and timelines. • Site visit is essential to confirm measurements and feasibility (especially for fireplace, window height adjustments, and structural elements). • Preference for quality materials matching the wooden flooring specification. • Waste removal and site protection during construction are required.

Bathroom * Bathroom tiling * Basin/sink if needed * Waterproofing where needed * Plumbing checks/repairs where needed 5.
